The Adriatic Sea

Is an arm of the Mediterranean
which separate Italy from Triest,
Croatia, Dalmatia and Albania. II
extends from 400 to, 450 so N. lat. in
a N. w. direction. Its extreme north
west portion forms the Gulf of Ven
ince, and on the east side are the CULTS
Of Triest, Flume, Cattaro and Drino.
Its greatest length is 400 miles, its
mean breadth 80 miles, and its depth
varies from IL to % fathoms.
The western or Italian coasts are
generally low and marsby, but the
eastern shores are steep and rocky,
and the Astounding creeks and inlets,
with the numerous islands, afford to
mariners many safe and natural har-
bors.
The GIBBS and flow of the tide in the
Adriatic are inconsiderable, though
more observable than in the Mediter-
ranean generally and its sadness is
a little greater than that of the ocean.
The prevalence of sudden squalls
from the northeast and southeast rem
ders its navigation hazardous, espec-
tally in winter.
Except the Pc and Adige, no con-
siderable rivers flow into the Adriatic.
It's chief emporia of trade are Venice,
Triest and Ancona. The port of
Brindiski, on the Italian coast, near
the southern extremity Of the Adriat-
ic, is rapidly rising in Importance

Kittie had tucked her right hand un-

"a FARMER" writing to the Quill
of Schuyler, from Vest Hill, this
county, says, among other things,
that the editor of the COLUMBUS
JouRxAL "opposed the rssolutions
endorsing Van Wyck inv e county
convention from the fac. that he was
afraid of Van Wyck's enemies" The
JOURNAL has already stated why M.
X. T. voted mo" on the only resolu-
ton that wac offered at the conven-
ton, which was, not because that
resolution approved Senator Van
Wyck's general course in the Senate,
but because the same resolution laid
down q somewhat plausible excuse
for an elected member of the legisia-
ture, chosen upon that platform, TO
violate the wishes of his constituents
90 far as supporting Van Wyck was
concerned, and yet hold to that part
of the resolution approving the sens-
torisl caucus. The writer hereof
will say to this correspondent that
he challenges him to come forward
and maintain the assertion be bas
made, as quoted above. Otherwise,
he requests him, in all fairnese. to
retract it. An attempt at the former,
or the desire TO do the latter would
show that the Quilts correspondent
has some moral courage, and does
not. in q personal contest where be
impugns a mans motive, take and
